21st Century [Digital Boy] [Portuguese translation]

I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes

Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah

And I don't want it, the things you're offering me

Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me

It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to read, but I've got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery?

Tried to tell you about No Control

But now I really don't know

And then you told me how bad you had to Suffer1

Is that really all you have to offer?

[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm a 21st century digital boy

I don't know how to live, but I've got a lot of toys

My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual

My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery?

[Outro:]

Cat's foot, iron claw

Neurosurgeon, scream for more

Innocents raped with napalm fire

Everything I want, I really need

Ain't life a mystery?

Yeah

[Fade-out:]

21st century schizoid boy

21st century video boy

21st century digital boy...
